The Planeteer: Issue 7/8 Readme file.
=====================================
The Planeteer is distributed in two forms: a HTML version (WWW ... viewable 
at Scott Shepherd's Neutral Zone) and a windows help version. This document 
belongs to the windows help version. It explains how to open The Planeteer 
and how to navigate through it. If you know how to handle windows help files, 
this document is of little use to you.

OPENING THE PLANETEER
=====================
The total package for the Planeteer comes as two files, the help file and this 
file. They have been compressed into a single ZIP file. I won't explain how to 
unzip them because since you are reading this, you know how to do this. ;-)

To view the Planeteer you must open it with the windows help viewer which comes 
with every version of windows. It is called WINHELP.EXE and is located in your 
windows directory. To open it with the Planeteer, open the file manager 
(in Windows 3.X) or the explorer (in Windows 95) and go to the directory where 
the Planeteer is located. It should be the same directory as this document. 
Now all you have to do is to double click on the Planeteer help file and it 
should open. 

NAVIGATING THE PLANETEER
========================
I won't go into detail about how navigating windows help in general works, if 
you need help on that, please consult the windows manual.

The Planeteer has two ways of navigating through it:

- First, you can navigate through the links in the articles. For instance, in 
  the table of contents, press the article you want to read and when you are 
  finished, press the 'previous' button to go back to the table of contents.
- On the button bar are two buttons designed to guide you through the Planeteer 
  (the have captions containing '<<' and '>>'). These will call the previous and 
  next article, respectively. They are recommended for the people who start at 
  the beginning and finish at the end and skip nothing in between (aren't we all 
  like that?)

TIP: Be sure to check out the 'WANTED!' button

There are also some cross references and other stuff in the Planeteer, but the 
above is all that you need to read and enjoy the Planeteer.

Have fun reading this issue of the Planeteer!
